Iff like myself you dont have reverse or a dial indicator on your lathe this looks like the answer with regards to cutting threads...whats your thoughts?
interesting technique. I used to hate threading on the lathes in college. they were imperial machines and we had to cut metric threads so couldn't use the threading dial, had to run the lathe in reverse instead.
the hardinge in work has a cam system so you just drop the lever wherever you want and it stays on the same thread
